Job Description
## About the Role
Mercor is partnering with a leading AI lab to train frontier models on high-quality healthcare reasoning data. We're expanding our Medical Expert network. As a Medical Expert, you'll design realistic clinical scenarios, evaluate model outputs against evidence-based standards, and help shape how the next generation of AI reasons about patient care.
If your specialty has its own dedicated listing on Mercor (Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Psychiatry, Hematology/Oncology, Radiology, Cardiology), please apply through that listing instead — you'll see the rate band that actually applies to you. Use this listing if your specialty is not yet listed (e.g., Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Anesthesiology, Surgery, ENT, PMR/Pain, Occupational Medicine, etc.).
## What You'll Do
- Design clinically realistic prompts and scenarios drawn from your specialty (diagnostic reasoning, treatment planning, risk stratification, guideline concordance)
- Write "golden" reference responses at attending-level quality
- Grade AI-generated responses against structured rubrics
- Provide written feedback the research team uses to improve model behavior
- Participate in onboarding office hours and specialty calibration sessions
## Who You Are
- Attending Physicians: Must be board certified with current, active, unrestricted medical license
- Resident physicians: Must be in final year of residency (recent graduates must be board-eligible)
- Fellows: Must be board-certified/board-eligible in primary specialty and have current active, unrestricted, medical license.
## Rates
Rates are set per specialty and seniority tier, benchmarked to Mercor. Your specific rate will be confirmed in your offer.
## Engagement
- Remote, 100% asynchronous
- 20 hrs/wk default (can be raised after onboarding based on demand)
- Paid weekly via Mercor
- Start: rolling, after onboarding sign-off
- Duration: ongoing, reviewed monthly
## Before Your First Task
You'll receive an onboarding doc and a calendar invite for Onboarding Office Hours after you accept.
